Dubreuil-Fontaine Pommard 1er Cru Epenots 2021
The Wine
From both Grands and Petits Epenots
91 Pts Allen Meadows, Burghound - Outstanding 'Once again there is just enough oak influence to comment on but not so much as to interfere with the cool, airy and perfumed aromas of mostly pure red pinot fruit and spice wisps. I very much like the sophisticated texture to the acceptably dense medium-bodied flavors that exhibit fine length on the youthfully austere, moderately firm and more complex finale. Drink: 2029+'

About the Wine Maker 
Domaine Dubreuil-Font is a remarkable yet understated producer in Burgundy, crafting exceptional wines from their base in the charming hamlet of Pernand-Vergelesses, located just north of Beaune. Perhaps it is this tranquil setting, removed from the intense pursuit of wines further north in Côte de Nuits, that has allowed the domaine to remain relatively undiscovered. This, in turn, has kept their wines accessible at prices far below the escalating norms of Burgundy.
The domaine is run by fifth-generation winemaker and owner Christine Gruère-Dubreuil, who is also joined by her daughter Clémentine. While their holdings extend as far south as Volnay Pommard, the majority of their production focuses Pernand, encompassing sites on Corton grand cru hillside and the premier cru of Sav-lès-Beaune, Les Vergelesses All red wines are destemmed and aged for 12-15 months barrel, with new oak usage ranging from 35% grand cru wines to a of 15% for the of their portfolio
